they're running out of good ideas, because the AI is rotting the part of their brain that comes up with ideas that are good.
Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"

i predict a comeback of the term "enemy logic" or "CPU opponent" that i saw used almost universally in the pre-internet era in video game manuals.
it was a while ago and my memory may be fuzzy but i don't think i ever saw the term "AI" in public-facing game materials until after the dot com crash.

Increasingly yes. Simultaneously, the STUDENTS are suspicious of the possibility that TEACHERS might use "AI" to grade materials, fostering the adversarial relationship from that side.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

my views on AI are more based on analysis from a purely computer science and economics standpoint than self-interest as a game dev, but:
if these end up being the aeron chairs of the coming bubble burst.. can't help but wonder what kinds of things game devs could simulate on these GPUs.

NVIDIA claims to have shipped 6m Blackwell GPUs - representing about 10GW to 12GW of IT load, or 15+GW of power - capacity that doesn't exist. I believe there are millions of GPUs in warehouses, and if that ever comes to light, it kills NVIDIA's growth story.

the plagaristic nature of Generative AI recycles existing ideas so thoroughly that these are mistaken for new ideas while also discouraging ordinary people from actually coming up with new ideas because some AI will just plagarize them sooner or later with absolutely no consequence or recourse.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

visualizing video game price inflation by how much weed one could buy with how much a nintendo game cost in 1990 vs today vs how much most games cost today.

visualizing video game price inflation by how much weed one could buy with how much a nintendo game cost in 1990 vs today vs how much most games cost today.
adjusted for inflation, these games would cost $120-$150 today.
a nintendo game boy (OG, big brick spinach screen edition) cost $100 in December 1990, which would be close to $250 today.

I remember buying Nintendo games in the late 80s as a small child, and the nominal prices were about the same as today ($50-60). That's amazing to me.

if AI is ever as essential as its boosters claim, we are going to need an entirely new form of intellectual property, because i do not think copyrights or patents are sufficient protections for innovators and creatives in a world where thought is as automatable via machine as writing is via print.
